The talks generally take place over a number of days. In their talks-some 80 groups have already booked the missionaries-topics include human dignity and pro-life, myths of contraception, vocations and how to combat media messages. They are searching for something different than what the culture is giving them,” said Kimberly Burdette, chastity education coordinator for the Family Life/Respect Life Office. “Young people are searching for this message. The speakers are young and vibrant, and also serve as models of the choice of chastity. The group, called Generation Life NY, is collaborating with the archdiocesan Family Life/Respect Life Office and Generation Life, a Philadelphia-based missionary group. However, a group of missionaries new to the archdiocese believes respect for human life and dignity begins with the message of chastity and they are seeking to spread that message to young people in New York.įour full-time chastity speakers will be delivering talks to schools, parish groups and religious education programs throughout the archdiocese over the next year. In a society where images and messages of sexuality are all around, the concept of chastity may be a difficult one to live out and share.
